IS CANNABIS A SAFE MEDICINE?

“Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana can be safely used within the supervised routine of medical
care."

Research has shown a correlation between cannabis and mental illness, but that
is all. The direction of causality has always been assumed to be that cannabis causes mental illness, and bad science funded by ignorant (some would say misguided, or even corrupt) funding bodies and governments promoting hysteria has reinforced those myths.

However, much anecdotal evidence and new good science suggests that the opposite is true. Many experts now believe that cannabis is actually a medicine for most mental and neurological conditions, and that people
naturally gravitate to the thing that allows them feel normal again. You can read about the neuroregenerative properties of cannabis.

You can explore the most commonly perpetuated myths regarding the dangers of cannabis in the sub-pages of this section covering addiction, lung cancer and mental health issues including anxiety, depression, psychoses and schizophrenia.

From
these pages you may come to realise that there is apparently no basis at all to the purported dangers of cannabis. Credible evidence suggests that any dangers associated with the use of cannabis are the results of prohibition, and not of cannabis itself. The
only truly dangerous thing about using cannabis as a medicine is its illegality.

"Cannabis has far fewer side effects than sympathomimetic drugs but works as well or better [to treat ADHD]."
